Its a situation that we will not ever know all the answers.
It gets more like a Soap opera all the time.
1, - For the law and people to say that they must have weapons is a lie. The hunting cabins do not get rifles and pistols left in them when no one is there.
Maybe a fishing pole....maybe.
That is the most stupid thing to say.
These are bare shacks with little for comfort, a roof, stove , thats about it.
It is a obvious statement to either incriminate gun owners or give a reason as to how the convicts rcvd guns .
The next thing, these two ( now one) have the energy to RUN.
What is he running on? The human body fades pretty quick with out food.
There is more to this then we will be told.
Like I said , he will be shot dead and never tell the story to incriminate all that were in on this.

I don't question your experience with bare-bones hunting cabins, but from what I've read, some of the cabins along the escape route are stocked with some type of supplies and some are in hunting "camps" with several cabins in a close proximity.
The first camp reported to have been broken into, and in which DNA from the escapees was found, was owned and used by prison employees, none of which could definitively tell if weapons were missing or not because it was shared by several hunters. It is from this break-in that the police
assumed the men were "armed and dangerous." Additionally, evidence found included a bloody sock, opened peanut butter jar, and a witness who saw someone running from the camp. So food and shelter was available. ("
I saw someone run out of the back. A jug of water, an opened peanut butter jar, boots, toiletries and bloody socks were discovered at the camp, the Plattsburgh Press-Republican reported. Police identified the DNA on the items as belonging to the men.")
Another break-in was reported in the area close to where Matt was killed. "
The search for the men intensified in the area after Bob Willett, a cabin owner, called authorities after noticing items missing and out of place. A bottle of rum, two pairs of boots and binoculars were among the missing items, and Willett also noticed a bottle of gin had been spilled, he told ABC News."

Finally, this,
"
A trail camera outside of nearby Whippleville took a photo of the two men this week, law-enforcement sources tell The Daily Beast. Authorities had asked hunters to deploy the cameras now instead of waiting until August, when they are normally placed ahead of deer-hunting season, which begins on October 1. The camera photographed both men and showed Matt holding a shotgun. Trail cameras are silent and it’s believed that the two men did not know they had been seen. Photographic evidence, including a time-stamp, helped authorities refine their search." (emphasis, mine.)

So, if you can believe the authorities, the press, and civilian witnesses, these guys had access to shelter, food, and weapons. Someone, believed to be Matt, shot at a camping trailer in an attempted car-jacking, which led to his eventual demise. He was, reportedly, armed with a shotgun when killed, and likely intoxicated.
Anyone may choose to believe the reporting, or not. If one chooses to believe it, then the cabins that were burglarized were better equipped than those to which you may be familiar, and the claim that the authorities lied about the escapees being armed is false. If one chooses not to believe the reporting, then any possible scenario, besides the reported one, is valid.
